Laser Beam Dump, 80 W Max Average Power, 200-3000 nm
Model: PD80
Product Series Overview
Laser Beam Dumps and TrapsThe PD80 Laser Beam Dump is used to absorb 200 to 3000 nm incident light and capture unwanted laser beams up to 80 W average power. In the optics laboratory, they are used to stop stray laser beams to protect personel and equipment. In instrumentation, laser beam dumps are used to contain a beam within a portion of the instrument. The PD series features Silicon Carbide construction to be effective in numerous laser applications. The PD80 features M3 and #4 threaded holes for easy, direct mounting and offers a maximum acceptance angle of ±5°, providing flexibility and accuracy in beam management.
Enhanced Laser Safety with Backscatter Control
The PD Series Beam Dumps feature an innovative patent-pending structure designed to absorb incident light and passively dissipate heat through natural convection. The interior incorporates a Silicon Carbide scattering surface, effectively able to suppress and reduce backscatter of incident CW and Pulsed beams. As a result, laser safety for personnel and equipment is greatly enhanced.
Versatile Mounting Options
These beam dumps are designed to be post-mountable and feature an 8-32 and M4 threaded holes on opposing sides. This configuration allows for direct mounting onto a variety of our posts and pedestals. The PD30, PD50 and PD80 models are also equipped with front imperial and metric tapped holes, providing additional mounting options.
